Building Inclusive and Multi-Culturally Competent Health Organizations: A Healing Approach to Addressing the Isms

Part 1: Understanding the Wounds of Bias and Oppression: Building Trust and Compassion at Work

Ken Hardy, PhD

Bias and Oppression are silent assassins that wound the psyche, soul, and spirit of those who are targeted. For those whose lives are shaped by the nuances of bias and oppression, living with invisible wounds is essential. These wounds, although pervasive throughout the life experiences of the oppressed, are often difficult for some of us to see, acknowledge, or validate thus unintentionally replicating experiences of oppression, domination, and bias.

This address will explore and expose the anatomy of oppression and the multitudinous ways in which it informs our everyday interactions in the workplace and beyond. Specific strategies will be provided for enhancing trust, empathy, and compassion when addressing the invisible wounds of oppression and bias.

Building Inclusive and Multi-Culturally Competent Health Organizations: A Healing Approach to Addressing the Isms

Part 2: Moving Your Organization Towards Multicultural Competence- Addressing Reluctance, Discomfort, and Disinterest

Ken Hardy, PhD

As society becomes increasingly more diverse, the one size fits all approach that is often common throughout standard organizational practices has outlived its utility. As organizations extend services across racial, ethnic, sexual orientation, economic and religious boundaries, it has become imperative to develop a strong sense of cultural competence. Working sensitively and effectively with a wide array of constituents from vastly diverse backgrounds including, the racially oppressed, ethnic minorities, women, gay-lesbians-bisexuals, the homeless, and immigrant populations are essential mandates for organizations. Benign or overt failure to effectively establish and integrate cultural competency within all aspects of standard organizational practices and procedures threatens esprit de corps and productivity in the workplace.

This session will be devoted to assisting participants develop and enhance cultural competence in organizational settings. Participants will receive comprehensive strategies and techniques for effectively addressing the nuances and the complexities of establishing cultural competency within organizational settings.

Part 3: Managing Hot Moments and Interrupting the "Isms" at Work

Ken Hardy, PhD

Crossing cultural boundaries is often characterized by either a deafening silence laced with discomfort or a myriad of well intentioned but harmful microaggressive comments. Whether the subtle and implied statement informed by unexamined racist, sexist, classist, or homophobic stereotypes or the more deliberately hostile comment designed to malign a particular group, effectively interrupting these isms is often a challenging endeavor. Fears about ‘saying it wrong’ or appearing ‘hyper-sensitive’ often make it difficult to actively and effectively interrupt these isms while remaining in meaningful conversation with those involved.

This workshop will provide strategies and techniques for actively and effectively interrupting the isms while simultaneously remaining in relationship and dialogue with perceived offenders. A model for conducting difficult dialogues will be provided.

Blood Donations: Creating an Inclusive Opportunity for All to Save Lives

Jeff Manassero, a recent Cal graduate and former ASUC senator, shares his innovative approach called “sponsored blood drives” in response to the FDA policy banning men who have sex with men from donating blood. Rather than protesting or recommending a ban on blood drives, Manassero spearheaded a campus effort for gay men to recruit donors in their place, allowing those who can’t donate blood to participate in the unique act of saving lives, while still making a statement.

Rethinking Health and Human Rights: Dr. Paul Farmer

The Pfizer "Moments in Leadership" Distinguished Health Leadership Speaker Series presents this talk and reception featuring Dr. Paul Farmer, recipient of the 2009 UC Berkeley International Public Health Hero Award.

Dr. Farmer is the Maude and Lillian Presley Professor in the Department of Global Health and Social Medicine at Harvard Medical School, and a founding director of Partners In Health, an international nonprofit organization that provides direct health care services and undertakes research and advocacy activities on behalf of those who are sick and living in poverty. Dr. Farmer’s work draws primarily on active clinical practice and focuses on community-based treatment strategies for diseases that disproportionately afflict the poor, health and human rights, and about the role of social inequalities in determining the distribution and outcomes of infectious diseases.

Using the framework of human right to health, Dr. Farmer will speak about:
- Community-based care to improve health outcomes in settings of great poverty
- Disease specific interventions to strengthen primary health care

La Flor del Sin Nombre

La Flor del Sin Nombre
The story of a rural town in California where everybody can be a Champion for Change.

La Flor del Sin Nombre is an hour-long telenovela that promotes improved nutrition and educates about food stamp access.  Targeted to Spanish-speaking farmworkers and other Hispanic immigrants, it touches on three nutrition themes: increasing fruit and vegetable consumption, cutting fat intake, and reducing high-sugar beverage consumption. 

In the story, Sin Nombre (literally, “No Name”) is a small San Joaquin Valley town in California predominantly occupied by farmworker families. Xochitl Sandoval, a daughter of farmworkers and community organizer is the main protagonist. Xochitl is committed to improving the diet and nutrition of community members, particularly since she lost both of her parents to complications from type 2 diabetes. The nutrition education and food stamp access themes are interwoven in this traditional telenovela story, complete with suspense, drama, love and betrayal.

A project of UC Berkeley & UC Cooperative Extension’s Building Food Security Workgroup, in collaboration with the California Institute for Rural Studies and Fotonovelas del Valle, this production was funded in part by the Food Stamp Program of the United States Department of Agriculture, an equal opportunity employer.
